Only in Demonland do I trust . . . and only then with a negroni in one hand and a plastic device of one sort or another in the other.

    Whenever I come across an Essendon fan I always excuse them. It just seems like the compassionate thing to do.

    because they are an excuse of a team

    The club went with the narrative eventually, as it was a legit excuse, but we

    a - didn't want to use it as an excuse in the beginning and

    b - aren't the Bombers, who after the drugs scandal get plenty of love from the media to make up for it.

    I just see them as a team we should dispatch of easily and move on from in 2020.

    Just disappointed we don't meet them twice. Would really like to scar them, (hope I'm not getting too far ahead of ourselves).

    Spare me the violins. The season hasn't even started and the campaign is underway to portray the bombers as underdogs. I suppose we will also get the James Hird deserves another chance at coaching narrative at some stage during the year as well. 

    So sick of hearing the same thing about this team, how we should all feel sympathy for them. Please.

    My hatred of this arrogant club and their supporters cannot be understated.

    When we lost to the Peptides, an Essendon mate of mine was raving about how Essendon had won the draft because Parish was clearly a better pick than Oliver. So, at least we got one back.

    But us losing to the Peptides was rolled gold Demonesque.

    Is that why so many sports journalists are barely literate?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
